Chapter 70 Invitation
After entering the city, Jiang Lisheng led Shan Gao and headed straight for the market.

At the market, there are small stalls selling a variety of food, and the delicious smell makes people want to eat it.

Jiang Lisheng's eyes lit up, and he reached out to touch the spirit stone in the storage ring. When he grasped the spirit stone in his hand, he remembered something and pulled Wei Qinglan's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Wei, it's bad. In the mortal market, you need to use mortal silver, but I don't have any."

After the war between gods and demons, the four realms no longer traded what they had with each other. The immortals used spirit stones, the demon world used demon crystals, the human world used silver and money, and the ghost world used ghost money.

Except for the markets at the foot of the mountains of major immortal gates, where immortals and mortals live together and the distinction between them is not so clear, and both spirit stones and silver are accepted, in this real mortal city, spirit stones are not accepted.

She looked at Wei Qinglan eagerly, hoping that he had it.

Wei Qinglan looked back at her in silence.

Jiang Lisheng's heart sank, "Brother Wei, you don't have any either?"

Wei Qinglan shook her head, "I never come to the mortal world to buy things."

Because he does not need it. He always comes and goes in a hurry, either to eliminate demons or to exorcise evil spirits, but he rarely comes unless he receives a message from the sect that there is a big demon harming people and he is nearby, then he will be asked to eliminate the demon. The rest of the time, he will practice on his own to explore secret realms and break through realms. He does not need anything from the mortal world at all, and the sect will not always use such tedious matters to disturb his practice. After all, the sect's responsibility to him is to devote himself to the Tao, and to achieve the Tao in the future and protect the sect.

Jiang Lisheng pouted and was about to cry, "What should I do?"

When she was in Qingxu, there was a city at the foot of the mountain where immortals and mortals lived together. She could buy snacks with her spirit stones. When she was in Kunlun, she would buy food from Yunduan, and he would also give her spirit stones.

Shan Gao was about to cry, trying hard to hold back his saliva. He could see it but couldn't eat it, and he was not friendly to a pig either.

Wei Qinglan held up his forehead with his hand, and after a moment, he whispered, "There is also a dark market in the mortal world. Let's go and exchange some when it gets dark."

"Will it work?" Jiang Lisheng asked with hope.

Wei Qinglan didn't know either. "Let's give it a try! Immortal sects also accept mortal disciples. As long as they have spiritual roots, they will be accepted. Although there are only a few every year, it can't stop mortals from yearning for immortality. Since ancient times, immortals and mortals have been inseparable. Every year, when major sects recruit new members, a large number of mortals will undergo spiritual root tests. The dark market in the mortal world should be able to exchange spiritual stones for silver money."

Jiang Lisheng thought it made sense, "Brother Wei, I'm counting on you. Wait until dark, can you find the dark market?"

Wei Qinglan had a headache, "It should be possible, right?"

He was not sure either. After all, finding a dark market was not something that could be discovered by relying on spiritual power.

The two men and the beast could only leave the market temporarily. As they were far away and could no longer smell the smell, Jiang Lisheng finally felt better. He kicked the stones on the road with his toes and muttered depressedly, "It's all my master's fault. He made me develop the habit of eating this bad thing."

Wei Qinglan thought to herself, Uncle Yu was so unlucky. The disciple she had worked so hard to pamper was still blamed by her.

Shan Gao took advantage of the fact that no one was around and whispered depressedly, "It's all your fault, stupid girl. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have developed the habit of eating this bad thing. It's really uncomfortable that I can't eat it."

Jiang Lisheng immediately glared at it.

Wei Qinglan chuckled, thinking that this was truly a tit-for-tat.

The two men and one beast had no money, so they could only wander around the street. However, they didn't wander around for long, because a group of cavalry blocked their way.

A young man was leading the way, wearing a brocade robe and jade belt, and was very handsome. After he stopped the people, he dismounted and bowed, saying in a clear voice, "Are you two distinguished guests from the Yun family in Yunshan City? I'm Pei Rong from the city lord's mansion. My father is the defender of this city. He heard that the two distinguished guests came to Hexin City, so he sent me to invite them." Jiang Lisheng opened his eyes wide.

Wei Qinglan had never expected that the Yun family's reputation was so big that it attracted the son of the city lord's mansion. He couldn't help but wonder if Senior Brother Yun had encountered this kind of trouble every time he went out to the mortal world to exorcise demons. But he had always been in a hurry and had never wandered around the streets like this. This was the first time he had encountered this.

His face was calm and he responded calmly, "My sister and I happened to pass by here. My sister was curious, so she went into the city to take a look. I didn't rashly go to disturb the city guards because I didn't want to bother them."

"It's not a bother. My father really wants to see you two. Please come in, brother." Pei Rong's tone was very polite, but his face showed an expression that showed he was determined to invite people to the City Lord's Mansion and would not tolerate any refusal.

Wei Qinglan frowned.

Jiang Lisheng stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve, but his eyes were looking at Pei Rong, and he asked: "Our Yun family has no grudge against your Pei family, right?"

Pei Rong was stunned, "No."

Jiang Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Does the City Lord's Mansion have good food and drinks? Don't tell me you have bad intentions and want to arrest us and lock us up to do something bad."

Pei Rong seemed very speechless, and the expression on his face was not normal. "No, there are delicious food and drinks. Since the Yun family has come to Hexincheng, they are honored guests."

Jiang Lisheng felt that something was wrong with him, "Is it true? It's not that there is no good banquet, it's actually a Hongmen Banquet. The distinguished guest is just a term, but it's not true in reality."

It's not her fault that she has so many thoughts. She has read a lot of picture books. The intrigues in the mortal world are much more than those in the immortal world, especially among the nobles. It is said that everyone has hundreds of thoughts. Unlike the immortal world, most people are devoted to cultivation and yearn for the great way. On the contrary, it is much simpler. There are some who don't practice well and have many thoughts and want to do evil things, but they are still rare.

Pei Rong almost couldn't hold it in, and managed to calm down and said, "Don't worry, young lady. The Pei family and the Yun family have been friends for generations. Anyone who has bad intentions towards the Yun family will not be a Pei family member."

Seeing that he was so decisive, Jiang Lisheng felt relieved. He pulled Wei Qinglan's sleeve and smiled, "Brother, shall we go to visit?"

With free food and drinks, who would bother looking for the dark market? From now on, Senior Brother Wei is her brother.

Seeing her smiling face, Wei Qinglan knew what she was thinking. She could only nod and said to Pei Rong, "If that's the case, I'm sorry to bother you."

Pei Rong also breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his followers, "Bring two horses." He then said to Wei Qinglan, "The City Lord's Mansion is a bit far, please get on the horses."

Wei Qinglan nodded.

Soon, the attendants brought in two tall horses with smooth fur and strong and powerful hooves.

Jiang Lisheng tiptoed, but didn't get on the horse. He turned around and asked Wei Qinglan for help.

Wei Qinglan reached out and helped her onto the horse. Seeing her expression of surprise at the new experience, he smiled and told her, "Hold the reins, sit tight, and don't fall off."

"No." Jiang Lisheng handed him the rope of the horse and tightened the reins.

Wei Qinglan took the rope and climbed onto the horse. Shan Gao followed obediently beside the horse, wagging his tail, and looked very happy.

Pei Rong noticed that the pig looked strange, so he looked at it for a few more times. Without asking any questions, he also jumped on the horse and led the way.

It’s a new month, monthly pass! Muah!
